Personal Assistant to an Evangelist – Supportive, Faith-Respecting & Autism-Aware Role Ref: WC1497 Location: Melksham Details This role is to support a Woman Drivers licence required: Yes Own vehicle needed: Yes Hours per week: Up to 20 hours per week – can be flexible to work around school hours but MUST be available to work one weekend per month to help me to attend church (ideally looking for 2 PAs who would be willing to job share) Hourly pay rate: £13.46 - Are you a compassionate, organised, and faith-respecting individual who enjoys bringing warmth, laughter, and practical support into someone’s life? I am a Black British-born female Evangelist in my 60s with a vibrant sense of humour, a big heart, and a passion for serving God. My calling is to continue in ministry and find a multi-cultural, five-fold ministry church (Ephesians 4:11) where I can both serve and belong — and I’m looking for a PA who can help me stay connected to my mission and my community. I live independently in my own flat, but since my autism diagnosis and with limited mobility and failing eyesight, I’ve found certain everyday tasks more challenging. Household chores, admin, and social interactions can sometimes feel overwhelming — so having a patient, proactive, and reliable PA by my side would make a world of difference. Your role will be wonderfully varied. You’ll help with general household tasks, light personal care, and some cooking (not every day), as well as administrative support such as reading and responding to correspondence, managing appointments, and helping me stay organised. You’ll also accompany me to appointments or local community activities, helping me remain connected and independent. More than just practical help, I’m looking for someone who will bring encouragement and positivity into my day — someone who understands that laughter and faith can be powerful companions. You don’t have to share my faith, but you must be willing to respect and support my role as an Evangelist and the values that guide my life. If you are friendly, trustworthy, responsible, and have a patient “can-do” attitude, I’d love to hear from you. Experience or understanding of autism is a big plus, but what matters most is a willingness to learn and the desire to make a genuine difference.
